What is a Premium Account?
A Premium Account will enable you to post rich advertisements with pictures and color and
use our telephone call systems to receive direct feed back from your advertisement.
You will also be able to expand your profile and build a full online presence and have access
to data mining tools.
During the testing phase as there is only a limited number of users. Any offers that you make
will not be binding. So if you reply to an advertisement and say that you will pay £100 pounds
an hour for a web developer in March, it will not be treated as a real offer. While our principle
purpose is to test the underlying software, if you find what you want on the site we encourage
you to form the work connexions you need to get your job done.
What is a 'bug'?
A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that
prevents it from behaving as intended (e.g., producing an incorrect result). Most bugs arise from
mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design, and a few are
caused by compilers producing incorrect code. A program that contains a large number of bugs,
and/or bugs that seriously interfere with its functionality, is said to be buggy. Reports
detailing bugs in a program are commonly known as bug reports, fault reports, problem reports,
trouble reports, change requests, and so forth.
What is Blogging?
Blogging is a way of collecting links to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas with people online.
Blogs (or Weblogs) are basically online journals or diaries which are great for sharing information and ideas.
Blogger.com says:
A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space.
A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links.
Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.
As well as text, blogs often contain audio, music, images and video. They're also really easy to make,
so you can have one even if you aren't very technical. Almost anything can be posted instantly to a blog.
Why Blog?
Surfing's no fun if you can't tell people what you've found. How many times have you sent e-mails to
your mates with the address of a particularly interesting web page, annotated with your own hilarious comments?
Wouldn't it be good to get your own web page where you could publish these comments,
plus the links you find, turn it into a daily journal of thoughts and ideas and make the whole
thing available to the world?
Well now you can, and if you do, you'll be joining the phenomenon that has become 'blogging'.
The history of blogs
Blogging has become something of a big thing in the last few years, and some of the biggest
and best known weblogs attract the kind of traffic that even big name e-commerce sites would be jealous of.
Weblogs are more than pages of links - they tend to reflect the personalities of their owners.
They are personal web pages, updated very often. They are the product of their owners' imaginations,
interests and wit, and it's probably this personal touch which has made them so popular,
especially for political issues. The word 'weblog' was coined by Jorn Barger, owner of the
long-established and extremely popular Robot Wisdom weblog. You can get a lot more about the
history of weblogs from his site at
www.robotwisdom.com.
